Delivery of Containers & Portable Buildings

Royal Wolf has established solid relationships with contacts in the transport industry to ensure that your container arrives safely & on time.

Delivery & pick-up costs depend on where you need your container delivered to. Your Royal Wolf representative will give you an exact figure before you place your order.

Generally your container can be delivered within 24 hours however this is subject to availability of the product & any modifications or accessories that you require. Your Royal Wolf representative will discuss your product availability & modification timeline before you place your order. Important issues that you will need to think about are:

Direction of the Container Doors
The container can be loaded on the truck with the doors facing either the cabin or the rear of the truck. To facilitate efficient use of the container on your site it is important that the container be loaded on the truck correctly.

Surface of the Site
Ideally, the container should sit on a level surface. The container can also be placed on sleepers or concrete pads, if required. It is important that the container sits level in order to ensure correct operation, such as the opening & closing of doors.

Safety is the Number One Priority
The delivery area should be clear of obstructions such as overhanging branches & electrical wiring.

Choosing the Container Delivery Method

There are two different types of trucks that can be used to deliver a container. The selected delivery method largely depends on your specific location, ease of access etc. Your Royal Wolf representative will discuss & confirm your exact delivery requirements & timing when you place your order.

Side Loader Truck Delivery
The container is unloaded from the truck by lifting it up at each end & lowering it onto the ground directly next to the trucks' tray. A side loader is particularly useful for unloading containers in tight spaces.

6m Side Loader Clearance Requirements
Height – 4.5m (15')
Width – 6m (20')
Length – 10m (33')

12m Side Loader Clearance Requirements
Height – 4.5m (15')
Width – 6m (20')
Length – 16m (53')

Delivery Logistics
The truck can either reverse or drive onto your site but can only be unloaded from the right hand (drivers) side.

Hiab Delivery
A Hiab is a truck that has a crane attached. This is the ideal method for delivering containers that have no truck access to where the container is required eg. A container can be delivered on the other side of a fence.
